Show notes

David Howard, renowned for his screenplay of DreamWorks’ Galaxy Quest, brings a wealth of experience from television and live theatre. Interestingly, his spot on the podcast isn’t just due to his film industry credentials. The mix-up between Galaxy Press and Galaxy Quest, a common occurrence at conventions where fans routinely confuse the two, made him an especially relevant guest when the opportunity presented itself at the Life, the Universe, and Everything Symposium in Provo, Utah. This interview covers the nuances of scriptwriting—highlighting what works well and what doesn’t. But more to the podcast’s purpose, we discuss the themes and creative process behind David’s delightful young adult fantasy novel, Penumbra.
